The development of Tang Dynasty is the root and motive force of the development of Tang poetry culture. The economic prosperity in Tang Dynasty is the solid material foundation for the prosperity of poetry. Economic prosperity, convenient transportation, social stability and high degree of opening to the outside world provided a solid material foundation and excellent social atmosphere for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. This is the basic material condition for poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu and Wang Bo to wander around the famous mountains and seas of the motherland at will, and for poets such as Wang Changling and Wang Zhihuan to leisurely chant wine.
Secondly, political factors will also affect the development of culture.
The unprecedented unification of the Tang Dynasty provided a basic guarantee for the prosperity and development of Tang poetry. China has been a multi-ethnic discrete country since the pre-Qin period. In the Han Dynasty, many nationalities began to unify gradually. Later, due to the unfavorable social and historical conditions, the situation of north-south division first appeared. After the Sui Dynasty ended the division between North and South, the Tang Dynasty began to gradually restore and develop national unity.
The continuous reform and development of the imperial examination system also promoted the development of Tang poetry culture. However, the rulers attached importance to poetry, which made the development of social atmosphere gradually tilt towards poetry. In the end, not only the civil and military officials of the imperial court, but also the ordinary people in rural and urban areas can recite poems and compose poems. The highly open political system also makes the multi-ethnic culture gradually integrate into the Central Plains culture, enriching the content and form of Tang poetry and promoting its prosperity and development.
The status of poets in the Tang Dynasty is also very high. Most of the prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty were literati, and the prime ministers also constantly reformed poetry and fu to promote the development of Tang poetry. Moreover, some satirical poems, epics and other very explicit and sharp poems by poets in the Tang Dynasty will not be greatly punished. There is even a story about Li Bai's imperial concubine learning ink and Lux taking off his boots. These great poets in Tang Dynasty are the direct promoters of the development of Tang poetry.
Finally, the development of culture can also reflect the development of the Tang Dynasty.
The early Tang Dynasty was mainly influenced by the poems of the previous generation and did not form its own characteristics. Moreover, the country has just settled down and everything needs to be done. Most poems are still simple works reflecting the current social situation.
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there appeared two representatives, Li Bai and Du Fu. They not only represent themselves, but also show two different styles. Their poems can show the prosperity and decline of the Tang Dynasty. Li Baiduo is in the prime of Tang Dynasty. He not only experienced the unique landscape of mountains and rivers, but also saw the social outlook of people's satisfaction and confidence. So he is a representative of romanticism, advocating freedom and pursuing individuality. The combination of poetry, wine and delicacies fully shows the prosperity and strength of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Du Fu was in a period of gradual decline in the Tang Dynasty. Most of what he saw was the hardships of people's livelihood and the misery of people's lives. His poems fully show the truest features of people in real life, as well as their good wishes and pursuits for life. If Li Bai's poems and songs are a brisk sword, then Du Fu's poems and songs are a simple pole. Same dynasty, different experiences, different feelings.
The Anshi Rebellion and the turbulent society changed the interest of poetry. On the one hand, it is loyal to advising the emperor and seeing the emperor's civil servants in time. There is also a military attache who wants to serve the country and set foot on the frontier.
In the late Tang Dynasty, Tang poetry mainly reflected people's pessimism and negativity in the declining times. Like a leaf without roots, duckweed in the water. Even without the splendor of the Tang Dynasty, he showed a different flavor, a girl, a charming girl by the window and a gorgeous lady. This is also a part of Tang poetry, which is another realm.
In short, the economy, politics and culture of the Tang Dynasty blended and complemented each other.
